I have come to the realisation that the lack of posting is a direct result of a busy life. Ya, seriously!

Ok, so a quick “me” update. I’ve lost 35 kilos! Yes! You heard right. I still have about another 12 to go before I’m totally stoked with my weight, but at least it’s not 35! And if it comes off slowly, then so be it. So the diet of doom worked, and worked well.

The beadwork thing isn’t really happening just yet. This is mostly due to time (or lack thereof) and lack of materials. You actually need a good few things before you can tackle beading effectively, and so at the moment I’m collecting the necessary bits and bobs in order to be able to put together the pieces that I want.

So what else is new? Nothing really, other than I have a wedding to shoot this weekend. Life is still life, work is still work, and (oh for crying in a bucket) I’m getting a sore throat. I’ve just come off of a bad dose of flu; I really don’t want to be going back there. Not just yet anyways.

Oh! Wait! I have a new hair-do. Pic below… Don’t laugh…

Gaming has taken a serious backseat in my life. I don’t really know why, but I guess it’s because I just haven’t been feeling hundreds, and gaming is something that I love to do when I’m feeling good, because it just lifts my mood even higher. That said, I really just haven’t been in the mood to play games of late.

Speaking of games Sims 3 is OUT! *insert wild girly fangirl scream here* I want to buy it… I MUST have it! But I think my PC is going to laugh at me if I bring it home… Quite frankly my pc is in dire need of an upgrade, so I think I’d be wasting my time if I bought Sims 3 now.

Otherwise I'm just carrying on with life... Anyways, that's it from me for now.
Enjoy

Goodness me, it has been forever since I posted anything! I really have become a shockingly bad blogger, but in my defence, I have been sick and as a result incredibly busy.

I came down with the flu about 3 or so weeks ago and it’s taken me a long time, and a fair dose of antibiotics to come right. I’m still not feeling hundreds, but at least I’m mostly there.

So what has been happening in the life of Ash? Well, I can tell you that I feel like I’m going through “the change of life.” Obviously I’m not, I’m far too young for that, however this year I have been feeling like I’ve borrowed someone’s body, and now I’m trying to get used to it. I think all it boils down to is the fact that I’m getting older, and my skin and body is starting to feel that. I’m actually beginning to sympathize with the women who do go through “the change of life” because it’s a scary thing when you’re not sure why the body that you know is suddenly doing strange things.

On the “lifestyle” front I’ve decided to take up two new hobbies. The first is beadwork… or beaded jewellery to be more specific. I will also do other projects like keyrings and ornaments, etc… but the majority of the beadwork that I do will be some form of accessory that I can wear. The second is mosaic. I have yet to start, or even try for that matter, this hobby, but I intend to. My mom and I went to a Craft Workshop this weekend, and it made me realize that I am actually losing my creative side. I find myself rushing through life these days, and actually, I don’t have any hobbies anymore other than gaming. Wait… no… gaming is not a hobby, it’s a lifestyle. You could also say that photography is a hobby, but I’m getting paid to do it, so it’s more of a second job than a hobby. Anyways, the point of all of this is that I’m going to start getting creative again.

On the “personal” front I am still single. Yes, I am going to end up being one of those lonely old cat women, but I’m now tired of trying to get the relationship thing right. I can at least say that I tried it… I did fail dismally at it, but at least I tried it.

Also on the “personal” front I’m missing my friend, Fluff. It’s been just over a month now since they left for New Zealand and well… I feel like I’ve lost a limb. A part of me is missing and I can’t function properly without it. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to function properly again. She really was a rock for me, and looking back, I feel that I took our relationship for granted. I guess you never really know what you have until it’s gone. I don’t have regrets, but I would have liked to have spent more time with the person who really was and is and probably always will be closer to me than most of my own family members.

Anyways…

I’ve decided that next year I am going to R.A.G.E. I’ve been wanting to go for as long as I can remember, so next year is it!

Well, that’s about as much as I have for you at the moment.
Keep well everyone

I have decided to take up beading...

... and this is my very first vintage style necklace!

Oh my goodness!

How long has it been since I updated this thing? I promise, I haven’t forgotten about it… I’ve just kind of lost the will to post in it. Well, that and Facebook has taken over the spare time that I used to dedicate to it.

Facebook is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? Oh, ok… yes it can be a tad evil at times, but… always in a good way :P My newest friend (we’re going to call him “Honung” because he is so "söt" ;P) lives in Sweden and, like me, is a big kid who dreams of adventure in other countries. In other words, he’s a nice, interesting guy who I’m enjoying getting to know.

Other than my newest friend, my other friend, Fluff and her hubby have now moved to New Zealand. I’m sad… and I don’t really know what else to say about that, other than I’m sad.

Jeepers, so much has happened in the past few months that I don’t really know where to start, and well… I don’t think tonight is the night. I’ll do a long catch up one of these days. Promise ;)
